Let's see in this video how to check and top up the fluid levels on a Berlingo II 1.6 HDi: we open the hood and remove the oil dipstick, wiping it clean. We put it back in place and check it again.

The level should be just below "max." If it is lower, we add oil according to the manufacturer's specifications from the filler cap. We check the level again to ensure it is correct: it should never exceed the maximum. We also check the coolant level: the reservoir is marked, and here too the correct level is just below "max." If it is lower, we add coolant of the same color as that in the reservoir.

The brake fluid reservoir also has level indicators. Theoretically, brake fluid does not get consumed.

If it decreases, it means that the brake pads are wearing down. Therefore, we add some fluid but also consider checking the brakes.

We also add windshield washer fluid: we should never add tap water because the minerals in it could damage the systems and the windshield.
